Five-O Lite is now available

A lot of people prefer to try out a game before they buy it, which I think is great. Currently, Apple doesn’t allow demos or trial versions of apps in the App Store, but “lite” versions are encouraged. The trick to making a good “lite” game is to give the player enough to get them hooked, but make sure there is still a compelling reason for them to upgrade to the full version.

In the lite version of Five-O, the player gets a splash screen every time they launch the game reminding them of what’s available in the full version. They can tap the Learn More button to jump straight to the App Store page for Five-O, or they can tap the Play Lite button. The games are played exactly the same as in the full version, but the player can only play against the medium level computer opponent. If they want to play against their friends, or play against a harder computer opponent, they’ll have to upgrade.
